In Europe, people are pushing these things into canals.



I've seen 4 guys lift one up just enough to rotate it 90' in a mall parking spot so it'd be stuck unless the other cars left.

There's an instructor at Mosport who has one chipped.

Watching that thing scream around corners looking like it's going to teeter over is priceless.
